Introduction Section 2 The Thermo Scientific MEGA-PURE 12A Water Still is a compact, all glass and Teflon® unit designed to provide 12 liters per hour of high purity distilled water. The product water, as produced, is non-pyrogenic per U.S.P. XIX and will have a resistivity up to 10M ohm-cm or higher at the product outlet using most tap water as feed.
You cannot exchange heaters that have been used. Caution Never use 208V heaters on voltage higher than 208 volts as premature heater failure will occur. Figure 2-1. Hubbel #9461C Receptacle Figure 2-2. 60A, 250V Breaker Box 12A Water Still Thermo Scientific...
